Invisible Monsters is a novel by Chuck Palahniuk, published in 1999.

The novel was originally supposed to be Palahniuk's first novel to be published, but it was rejected by the publisher for being too disturbing. After the success of his novel Fight Club, Invisible Monsters was given a second chance, and a revised version of it was published. Love, betrayal, petty larceny, and high fashion fuel this deliciously comic novel from the author of Fight Club.
